The invention relates to a residual current detection method using
magnetic core working state switch. Since the DC leakage
signal does not fluctuate and the coil cannot induce the
signal, it is necessary to superimpose the
signal on an alternating signal. The method provided by the invention uses a
chip to realize two states of the positive and negative square
waves of the H-
bridge circuit to achieve an external
magnetic field, the bidirectional saturation excitation
square wave signal enters the bidirectional saturation region of the
magnetic core, the different characteristics are generatedby the DC in different regions of the
magnetization curve, and the DC leakage detection and protection are completed by extraction and distinguishing with an
algorithm. The AC leakage itself has fluctuations and works in the
linear region of the
magnetic core, so that the coil can directly sense signals including 50Hz, high-frequency AC 400Hz, 1kHz, 20kHz, 150kHz, etc. At this time, the coil is no
excitation signal, and the data are extracted and calculated through the
algorithm to complete AC leakage detection and protection. Three states of forward excitation, reverse excitation and no excitation are switched to complete the detection of complex residual current.
